When you think of the dc comic universe, which superheroes come to mind? Probably one of the big three pops into your head– batman, superman, and the flash? Maybe wonder woman sneaks her way onto that list? Certainly she is in the top five— even though she really should be one of the first superheroes you think of when you hear dc comics.

Maybe she doesn’t pop into your head right away because you don’t know enough about her. Wonder woman has over sixty years of backstory to unravel, and as any comic book fan knows, being around for that long means there has probably been a couple of origin rewrites along the way. What do we really know about princess diana of themyscira? What is hiding behind those bracelets of submission and indestructible tiara?

Leaving behind her homeland of themyscira and her amazonian people, wonder woman set off to protect the world. A founding member superhero team the justice league of america, wonder woman took her rightful place as one of the most formidable opponents in the universe.
